I’ll tell you how to save money. Spend a bit of money to teach the gate agents how to operate the jet bridge and you’ll save a bunch of money in fuel costs.
The FAA asked us to come up with a plan on how the existing 4 FAs would open the doors in an emergency. Apparently we sat on it for 6-8 months and never came up with a plan. Then a month or two ago -- whenever it was that we started flying with 5 -- the FAA basically said...welp, if you can't come up with a plan, we'll make one for you: 5 FAs. Now. So we scrambled for a couple days trying to fill all the flights with an extra body. That's what happened.
If we can't figure that out...
